You may have heard that, starting with Episode 160, I began
accepting the financial support from advertisers. As I
started meeting with marketing firms, production studios, and other
industry experts, it didn’t take me long to realize this is the
real deal and to enter that market legitimately, it’s going to take
some work. I’m up for the challenge!

As I presented my plan to each of them, they agreed we have
something unique and special here. The most common question
back was “HOW did you get this far on your own?” My simple
response, was “I don’t know, HOW, I just stayed focused on
WHY!”

We’ve demonstrated that the show is super successful. In
10 months, you’ve downloaded 1.5 million episodes. It’s no
wonder advertisers are calling to get their names and products to
your ears. We are an amazing community that is focused and
engaged. It’s my favorite part of this journey. I made
the deliberate decision to accept their support so that I could
begin to build the show the way I want to build it - but, I also
know sometimes those advertisements are a distraction to our
focus

So here is what I’ve done. Since so many of you have
already signed up as Patrons to provide a monthly contribution, I’m
turning that support into commercial free episodes first. The
remaining (unfunded) episodes will be released to
advertisers. I think this is the perfect balance as we take
WhysAdvice™ to the next level. The advertisers who have
stepped up, are incredible wingmen, as well, providing me the
validation that we actually CAN build this.

Their support, combined with yours, is making this a
reality. I’ll let the community decide the right balance
between, sponsored and unsponsored episodes. I will just
focus on bringing you better audio quality, more consistent
scheduling, audio/video interviews from real success stories, and
engaging social media. I’m ready to build a team to put this
all under one roof!

I’ve made it fun to make a monthly contribution at
Patreon. You can give yourself a fancy title, such as
Wingman, Sergeant, Colonel etc, but note, there can only be ONE
President :) As the number of Patrons grows we can build
Squadrons, Wings and Groups! The sky is the limit, and with
your support, we can continue to defend the world against obesity.

If you’re already a Patron, log in and select the appropriate
tier level for your current contribution. How fun would it
be, if this show, generated FOR you, was 100% listener
supported. That somewhat goes against the rules in this
industry, but then again I’ve never really done any of this by the
rules. I’ve simply followed my heart.

About the Podcast

To lose weight, you need to focus. It doesn't happen by accident. At one point I weighed 263.5lbs and I should have been kicked out of the military. I got my mind right and lost 91pounds. It feels great! If you have similar goals, this is the place to learn WHY I did it and get focused on your WHY. There is more than one way to do this!
